    Good to hear Jeff. I believe so too from the bit I've seen.

    This is a big "**** off" to the people that criticized his first fight :yep

    this is a good fight for 15 and 0. he is better than anyone Chisora and Sexton have faced and they are at 8-0 and 9-1 i think. both his biggest rivals later in the year.

    I'm still not buying all the hype yet TFFP.

    I seen him in the ams and he didnt look anything stand out in my opinion. Missed his debut, but I'll be watching this.

    Dont get me wrong, I hope he's the next Joe Louis, it's just that I'm not getting my hopes up.... yet.

    What hype? Nobody even talked about him on here except for one thread after his last fight.

    What hype?

    Other than the olympians, how many other people get on ESB's front page at 1-0?

    Who cares?

    It's just one article, you can easily ignore it. Hardly anybody mentions him in the forum. Either way, I don't see how its a bad thing to have a heavyweight that has captured a few peoples imaginations, probably due to his name...but I'll take anything right now.

    And by the way I didn't mean I rate him to become the next great heavyweight or anything, he's just talented, we'll see.

    Think we both kind of missed each others point. Fury gets more press attention for a fighter of his record than any other. My view is because he has a headline name.

    I hope he's brilliant, I really do. I want him to do well. It's just that from what I've seen, which admitadly was a couple of years ago, I dont think he's all that.

    He could do with shifting 20lbs :lol:

    Mick Hennessy feels he has a jab better than Larry Holmes.

    Now there's a good way to keep the kid grounded...

    Hennessey has done these matchups before where he throws them deep too soon. He's not usually sucessful with It.

    Zeller against Kretschmann:

    Tyson debut:
    [YT]Y9yjTQxi-p4[/YT]

    Good 2nd pro fight, though I reckon they have seen how Zeller struggled against the taller faily solid punching Kretschmann and thought he would be a perfect opponent syle-wise for Tyson. Either way, a very respectable opponent for someone who is 1-0!

    Ahh yeah I remember seeing the fight against Kretschmann. Zeller was totally outclassed imo, but i believe Kretschmann's a very capable fighter.

    Gonna be interesting.
